Welcome to my little corner of The Otaku!

Let me introduce myself. I sign my art as "Kasey-chan", so feel free to call me that. My interest in drawing started when my sister and I went down to the book store and we discovered How-To-Draw-Anime books. It took off from there.
When I'm not scribbling away I am pursuing work in theatrical properties, spending way too much time on Netflix, watching too much TV, and wishing radioactive waste really did give people superpowers.

Here's some of my favorite things :).

Anime: Miyazaki's works, Tokyo Godfathers, Astro Boy (2003)
Manga: Rurouni Kenshin and Hana Kimi
American Cartoons: Batman: The Animated Series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Venture Brothers, Gravity Falls, Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated
TV Shows: Merlin (BBC), Firefly, Mystery Science Theater 3000
Movies: The Secret of Kells, The Adventures of Tintin, X-Men: First Class, The Iron Giant, Muppet Treasure Island, Treasure Planet, RoboGeisha, Sharktopus
Books: Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey,Jane Eyre
Colors: Green!
Superheroes: Batman and Spiderman

life

I've been doing props for my college's upcoming spring show because my senioritis kept me from seriously auditioning. Plus I really like doing props, even though it's turning out to be more time intensive than I had thought. Today I made a ham out of my new favorite thing, Model Magic. It's this play-doughy stuff that dries. Awesome for food props. I also went shopping. Every time I shop for props I'm always the winner of the "Person With the Most Random Items in her Bag" Award :P.
I've also been watching Dark Shadows on Netflix in my spare time. Haha what a great-awful show :). I like to play the "Spot the Film Crew" game. You can always catch them or their shadow at least once in every episode. The story's not bad either, at least it's getting more interesting. I'm beginning to get excited for the movie that's coming out with Johnny Depp.
Other than that not much else is going on. Trying to enjoy these last few weeks of my college career. AHH LIFE AHHHH! Wouldn't that be awesome if I knew what I was doing with my life? Yep. It totally would.

This picture will just have to fill the awesome void for now.

have fun otaku-ing!

Keep Me off the Cart Because I'm not yet Dead

The title is a Spamalot reference in case anyone was dying to know.
So I'm trying to be a little more active on this site and keep up with everyone more. I've been on twice in like 4 days so that's a start, right? I'm hoping to get a few more art pieces up as well, particularly for the Shonen Beat/Jump and the mascot challenges. :).
Life is life. I'm job searching for both summer and next year, and the theaters I have applied too have at least all contacted me, which is positive. Still no definite offers yet, but I'm glad the fish are biting.
I recently discovered Dark Shadows thanks to my newfound love, Netflix. Oh Netflix, how I adore you! Where else can I find such cinematic wonders as Two Headed Shark Attack, Dragon Crusaders, and SSSSSSS (yep thats actually a legit title). Seriously though, Netflix does have some awesome stuff like The Secret of Kells, Eerie Indiana, and Merlin. Although I watch Netflix instead of drawing in my downtime nowadays. I need to combine the two. The problem is finding a way of drawing while also not missing any important bits of the shows, like the true identity of that mysterious English cousin who randomly shows up on the mansion doorstep.
I am excited for Easter. Easter egg painting is always a big sha-bing with my dad's side of the family. It'll be nice to have some down time :).
And that's it. Here's a pic. when my toilet breaks down, I wish this was my problem.

have fun otaku-ing!
